    I tend to agree with this assessment!

    I think it's Florida. We can beat AZ State and still end up 4-8 but if we beat Florida, there is a chance for 6-6 because if you beat Florida, you should be 4-0 non conference and should have a better than even shot at UPIG.

    AZ State is important, but I agree that it's Florida. I think the most important 3 game stretch is A&M, Arky, UMass. We get through that stretch 3-0 you set your self up for a bowl game.

    Win 4 noncon
    Win 2 of Florida, ark, Aggie
    That's your path to 6.

    But that is an uphill climb. I have zero expectations of it.

    Florida will be a statement game. It will show Lebby is the better coach with the better offense. It will be the nail in the coaching coffin for Sunbelt Billy. And yes, I'm dying on this hill.

    Other than the Big Dogs, this is one of the most manageable schedules in quite some time for State. It is most unfortunate that we have a Roster in flux and are transitioning to a new offense and defense in such a manageable schedule. The 2022 team with this schedule would be looking at 9-3 regular season. Unfortunately we have most of the 2023 team and a few new faces that are new to SEC football.

    This is a season where we just have to go one game at a time and hope for the best. This could be a team that wins @Tennesee but loses to Toledo because of all the unknowns. Besides UGA and Texas on the road which basically is a 1 percent chance we win and Eastern KY and UMass about a 1 percent chance we lose the other 8 games will all be very interesting and probably fall between 25 percent and 75 percent, hence the reason I am picking 6-6

    I think we probably lose to Texas, but our chances are a lot higher than 1%. Texas is a joke program that loses a game or 2 to teams like us almost every year.

    We have five top 12 teams on the schedule.
    4 on the road.
    1 at home.
    We have the second rates toughest schedule in the country.
    Nothing about it is manageable.

    That was before Sark. They had bad coaching for awhile after Mack Brown was fired. They will be in the upper echelon of the conference most years now as long as Sark stays. It will be UGA, Bama, Texas and then LSU, OU and possibly Tenn making an occasional appearance. ATM and Auburn are going to have trouble in my opinion keeping up with those 6. Then you may have any other team outside Vandy have a random strong year like OM State Mizzou or UF but I think those will be fewer and further between with NIL, portal etc

    Sure it would be with Leach's last team. But Keenum kicked the can down the road by going the easy route last year promoting a Defensive Coordinstor to manage a team built to throw and throw and throw and then throw some more. Then the team quit and the coach quit in them.

    Losing the RB Schrader is going to be a bigger loss than most are anticipating it will be. He opened up a lot in their passing game. They, like OM, were also elite in one score games. That will return back to the mean this year. They'll be good but to expect them to be 11-2 is not feasible. They may only win one conference road game. That only gives them 3 losses.

    I'm surprised no one mentions ole miss. That will be a 1 score game. Can go either way. They had one of their best teams this year and struggled bad against one of our worst teams ever. We will be playing them for a chance to get to 6 or 7 wins.

    I'd take that right now. Anything above 6-6 and lebby should be coach of the year.

    I mean ... maybe? They were good in 2023, but they dropped 2 games to teams who finished unranked in 2022 and 3 in 2021 (including 2-10 Kansas at home).

    They were "back" when Tom Herman led them to a top 10 finish in 2018, and then it was "same ol' Texas" for 4 years under both Herman and Sark, and now they had another peak year. Maybe they'll sustain this for a while, maybe it's back to "same ol' Texas" again. Probably somewhere in the middle. I don't think they'll ever consistently be on the tier with Alabama and Georgia, especially now that they'll be playing SEC teams every week.

    Anything can happen in an Egg Bowl. But for anything to happen it would help to have some confidence built up from beating Florida, Arkansas and winning our OOC games. That would make us bowl eligible going into the Egg Bowl.

    So I would have to say that Florida is our biggest game. Because Ole Miss can't be our biggest game without winning some of the others. If that makes sense.
